He fixes up botched renovations, exposes crooked contractors and shows Canadians how to “make it right.”

Tuesday, home reno superstar Mike Holmes turned his attention to the biggest house of all, Canada’s House of Commons.

Holmes was on Parliament Hill to film a segment with Mark Critch of This Hour Has 22 Minutes when the fire alarm went off at the outset of Question Period, forcing everyone in the Centre Block out into the rain.

In between posing for photos with fans, Holmes ran through a list of things he noticed need to be fixed on Parliament Hill.

“There are a few things I would do,” Holmes told iPolitics. “Never put the siren in the staircase where you want everyone to go because it just screams. Put it in the hallways, get everybody out, don’t put it in the staircase.”

“Number two, this is not going to burn. It’s all made of limestone. The only thing that’s going to burn is maybe the furniture in the place.”

However, fire alarms going off aren’t the Parliament Buildings’ biggest problem, said Holmes.

“There are other issues more meriting renovations that need to be done here. The asbestos, the mould, the things that I’ve seen. We need to fix a few things. I think I need to get my tools.”

Parliament Hill is currently in the midst of a multi-million dollar renovation that has been embroiled in controversy over the way contracts were awarded.

Critch jokingly suggested the government take a page out of Holmes’ book and gut the entire building.

“Mike has been showing me how to tear things down and make it right the first time so I think if there is a problem with a fire hazard I think what we should do to make sure we don’t have any problems in the future. We should tear down the entire Parliament buildings and start from new.”

“Would that be overkill, Mike?”

“There’s nothing wrong with overkill,” responded Holmes, playing along. “I kinda like the outside structure, I think we should keep the outside structure, then we’ll gut it.”

“That means that we’ll have to get rid of a lot of politicians,” Critch joked. “So government is probably going to have to be shut down for, I don’t know, 12 years or so until we get the job done right.”

Will any one miss Parliament not sitting?

“Oh God no,” Critch laughed. “Are you kidding me? It will be the best thing that could possibly happen for the country. While everybody is out right now they should lock the doors.
